DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa by Hilton Niagara falls

We enjoyed our stay at DoubleTree Fallsview Resort and Spa because it is conveniently close to the falls. It would be crazy to tell everyone that we picked this hotel compared to other Hotels just because of the welcoming cookies :) and the Hilton points.

Last year, we got the corner suite, which was comfortable and big.

The scenery from the corner suite was relaxing as we enjoyed.

This year because of the need for two queen beds we didn't ask for a corner suite but wanted to re-live the memory by getting it in the same floor :) We stayed-over on a Sunday night and were delighted to see the fireworks from the hotel room. However, our children fell asleep and missed the five minutes of fireworks.

Over the years, the hotel lobby hasn't changed at all. Everything looked the same like time didn't change :) With little children, I would prefer if the floors and furniture in hotel rooms were a little more cleaner.

The bed and towels were clean, which I was happy about. They had a lovely collection of cream, shampoo, conditioner and soap hotel size in the washroom from Crabtree and Evelyn.

I like the small fridge in the room which helps keep the water and drinks cool; this is important during summer months. The air condition can be controlled, which is a good thing as it was a little chilly for the little ones. The coffee maker was convenient to make coffee and tea.

I would have preferred if they had a generous amount instead of a sweetener (which I don't use), two sachets of sugar and 2 small plastic cream containers. It looks like we have to bring our own milk and sugar to have a decent cup of tea or coffee.

We enjoyed the amenities of the hotel such as the pool in the lobby. The staff is really nice and welcoming. Good thing they had WiFi so I could post pictures on instagram :) We were able to park conveniently at the hotel so we can walk around the area without taking the car.

We had dinner at the Indian restaurant Cheetal, which is close to the hotel. The prices are high and the food was okay.

While at Niagara there are always lots to see, especially the falls. It never fails to amaze, doesn't matter how many time you've been there after all it is one of the wonders of the world.

We had a relaxing time and enjoyed the stay at the hotel. We will very likely return to enjoy another stay at Doubletree Fallsview Resort and Spa by Hilton Niagara Falls.

You're a good man Charlie Brown at Stratford

We had a fabulous time at Stratford Shakespeare Festival watching You're a good man Charlie Brown. We laughed so much that even tears came out, and our jaws hurt :) it was hilarious!

Ontario Gas BBQ

BBQ season is here and most of us will be looking for a barbecue that is affordable and reliable. Ontario gas BBQ located in Concord, Ontario is the biggest BBQ store in Canada. It is close to Vaughan Mills mall.  They have a wide variety of barbecues, smokers and everything related to barbecuing.

I think most of us will be intimidated by the size of this place and think, "well all these barbecues would be pricey," but after I checked it out for myself I know that this isn't true.

I liked the setting and comfort of how the store was arranged; we can look for a barbecue without bumping into other things :)

There are no special sales at Ontario Gas BBQ as the prices stay the same all throughout the year.  As a consumer, I will not regret missing the sale as I know I will be getting a good deal all year.

I asked the owner of the BBQ store, Duff Dixon, which was the best BBQ he had.  He said, we get what we pay for in terms of features, but the quality of all the BBQs are superb from everything in the low budget to the high end models.

To make our options narrow and ease the task of buying a barbecue, we should let the knowledgeable salesperson know about our budget and the types of features we are looking for. 

The barbecues sold at Ontario Gas BBQ are high quality products mostly made in Canada and USA. These products have a good warranty, which guarantees us that it would work without any trouble. Buying a barbecue in a specialized store like this assures us that we won't have to look for a BBQ every year.
